Schwarzenegger To Convene Global Climate Summit - News Story - KTVU San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to cast himself in a new role: an international leader on global warming.
The Republican governor, who has become a national pitchman by challenging many members of his party on the issue, announced Friday he would convene a summit in California for his contemporaries from around the world.
Schwarzenegger said he will invite lawmakers and government executives from China, India, Australia, Europe and other countries in the hope of forming an international alliance of community and regional leaders.
He is planning the conference for November, a month before the United Nations holds its next round of international climate talks in Poland. Governors from all 50 states also will be invited.
"The real action for any new ideas is always on the local level," Schwarzenegger told a gathering of the Commonwealth Club of California, a nonpartisan educational organization. "This is how we can push the agenda."
